I rarely watch a video all the way through - and even though I've already uploaded several books to KDP - I watched this ENTIRE thing. So good Greg! I feel way more confident now. Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it! I always try to pack as much valuable things into these videos so I really appreciate hearing this, thank you. As always, if you run into any questions just let me know 👍
Now that your saying that you've uploaded several books on KDP, can u give a feedback for me - newbie - have you already made at least a loaf of bread worth of cash out of it?
Almost bypassed this video as I'm a subscriber but not new to KDP. Until a couple of days ago had not uploaded anything new for the year and still getting paid every month. That's the beauty of POD. Thank you for this very thorough explanation of the process for those starting out and the bonus of the custom GPT.
Right on! Exactly the reason I love these passive businesses too. Thanks for the comment, and glad you are able to put the GPT to use too! If you run into any questions just let me know 👍
I’ve been following you for a while and have always appreciated your generosity and kindness for the wealth of information you share in your videos. They are so detailed and easy to understand. You have no idea how much your videos mean to my husband and I. We thank you for all you do to help people on their entrepreneurial journey.
I appreciate that! Thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know. It means a lot to hear that. This strategy of KDP is one I’m really excited about so I’m glad you’ve found it. If you guys have any questions just let me know!
@@GregGottfried Thanks so much for your response. I do have a question about setting payment options for KDP since I leave abroad - in The Bahamas to be exact. Our jurisdiction is not included on KDP's list. I've heard about Payoneer as an option. Would you have any information about this or about other options for persons living outside of the listed jurisdictions?
@@nicolabrown9887 Great question. Love the Bahamas by the way…one of my favorite places I’ve been! Yes I do believe you can use Payoneer. They used to have a US Payment service where they’d give you US banking info to give Amazon. They now have a Global Payment Service and a Marketplace Payment Service if I recall correctly. I’d look into those two to see which one is the correct one, but that should do exactly what you’re looking for 👍
Thank you for the comment and support... It's comments like this that keep me making more videos for you guys! Enjoy the GPT! And if you run into any questions just let me know 😃
Greg, you are AMAZING! I loved your last video on this but this new video with your GPT tool is just so amazing and generous! I'm going to try this tonight! I'll let you know my results :)

Fantastic step-by-step guide for beginners! 🎉 Love how you broke down each stage of the Amazon KDP process so clearly. Thanks for sharing this valuable content! Keep it up, Iara
Right on! Let me know how it goes and if you run into any questions! Once you get a couple cover templates made, the creation process gets really quick 👍
@@GregGottfried I've recevied few emails from Amazon with issues about the contributor(s) list. I've not contributors, so I assume is about the Author, I've tried few options based on your recommendations, any tip about it? I have 2 word search book like this, thanks!
@ hmm.. it sounds like the author name is too similar to another seller, or it’s something they don’t like for some reason. I’d try changing it to something very different and giving it another shot 👍
@@GregGottfried Thank you again , I actually have some questions, I want to sell only cotton or natural material tshirts can we choose it on amazon or redbubble ?
No worries! Just trying to give as much as possible and that seemed like a perfect opportunity. Thanks for taking rhetorical time to say thanks, I appreciate that!
This was a wonderful video. I especially love how detailed and planned out it was. So amazing for you to take the time to walk us through each step. Is the process of uploading the same if you have content for a different genre of book such as a novel? Is there anything else we beginners should be thinking about in terms of copywriting when using this business model for KDP in order to keep or work and ourselves better protected from lawsuits?
Nice input, Greg! Thanks for this tutorial! Do you have any tutorial on how to use Book Bolt SEO? Another question is, do I have to get book reviews for this kind of content on websites like Pubby?
Thanks! I don't have a SEO video yet, but I can make one that does a deep dive on it. As for reviews, I am not a fan of using sites like Pubby. There's a big law suit going on right now where Amazon/Google teamed up to sue a review-provider company. I stay clear of anything in this realm of things to keep my accounts clean in case anything goes down and penalties start happening.
Sorry! I dont know if this is a duplicate question (not sure if my question posted initially). Can you share how to create an eye catching cover? where would I search for that? Would it be on book bolt? Thank you
Super appreciative of your time in putting this video together. I'm a beginner and haven't sold anything online before, so total newbie! Can you also do this with color by #'s?
I have a question, if I live in Europe is it still recommended to create the books in English or would you recommend creating them in the local language
Thanks Greg. I've been following you for a longggggg time... thru your break even...lol. Great content always. Question: I already uploaded my word search puzzle and it's in review. Now I am BACK on book bolt trying a 365 page devotional. In the pages tab, I dont see where I can add just blank pages, no page #'s. Probably right in front of my nose, however, I'm lost. I am designing the pages in canva, ( they are different designs for 7 days. Then those 7 days of designs repeat over and over until 365) and then want to paste them over to book bolt for all 365 days. So I guess this is two part: blank pages? and if I download my 365 pages from canva, can I just upload them to book bolt? Or would I have to paste them all? I am also wondering if I can just upload my pages directly to KDP, bypassing book bolt. I haven't researched KDP, I just basically followed your tutorial for the word search step my step.... so I don't know the capabilities of KDP yet. I assume book bolt is a 3rd party design tool simplifying the process. I assume... lol. Thank you!!! Shannon
Thank very much. I'm new in web design. I really do like your videos. I would like to ask you if we have to get some credentials before Amazone allow us to have his affiliate product link?
Great video. Great tips. But i have to turn on the words so i can read what yr saying cuz u talk so fast. Thank god for being able to watch it over & over. It really is simple but a lot of clicks. Im excited to start this as an extra income. I always wanted to do this. I used to create my own puzzles for like my sunday school class or parties at school. But this way is so much easier. Most of the work done for u. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Glad the video has been helpful, I agree this way of doing it makes it a lot faster with all the heavy lifting done for us. For the speed, I think there’s a setting on the video playback options to slow the speed to 0.75 speed. That may help so you don’t have to keep rewatching. I’m also here if you run into any specific questions 👍
Hi Greg, I have a quick question. I want to use my LLC however I am neither c-corp, s-corp or a partnership however amazon doesn't give you any other option and i dont want to do it as an individual. is there any other way to use my business without being affected negatively during tax season. what would you recommend?
Hei Greg. I just open my book bolt and folloed your direction, i clicked on create and my page open totally different. It says welcome back! Asked me tomlogin again . Tell me to try fir free and talks about creating my first book to publish on amazon. What do I do? I alreadu gave all my card information
Hmm… I haven’t heard of that before. I would guess it’s from using a different email address. In my experience the email address you sign up with is the same as the login one. Same should be true for the free trial too. Hope you can get in!
When getting started, you can truly go into random niches. You’ll be amazed when sells..I’ve definitely been surprised myself. I can put together a video here soon going over my process, it’s a bit lengthy to explain in a comment. I’ll add it to my video list for you 👍
Sir I am very poor how to join your Amazon team I have been watching for a long time but how much investment required to start this everytbing make ready but I don't have the right guidance to achieve that goal
hi, if u only made 6 bucks so far without advertising and book bolt costs 16 bucks do you recommend advertising? if so, can you make a video to show best advertising strategies? Thanks.
Hey great question. I don’t personally recommend advertising. I think it’s hard to get right and turn a profit. If you are set on them though, I’d recommend Amazon Ads for these books. My personal recommendation is to create a lot of designs. Simply put, I have a lot of experience with businesses on these marketplace style websites and if you can create a lot of great listings, you will build up a really consistent income that’s 100% organic. Also worth mentioning, that account is just an example account with only 7 books uploaded. I think in reality you can do 5-10 per day (and there’s no upload limit on Amazon KDP)👍
When getting started, you can truly go into random niches. You’ll be amazed what sells..I’ve definitely been surprised myself. I can put together a video here soon going over my process, it’s a bit lengthy to explain in a comment. I’ll add it to my video list for you 👍
Quick question after watching the entire tutorial, on the ASIN (?) number, you said we can access one (1). What happens with the next one you create? How do you get another number abd do you need to pay for these moving forward per product? Again, I'm so stoked and so, SO grateful for your content!
Great question! You can get another one for each book, all for free too 👍 Once you start the next listing you just click the same button and it will create a brand new one. Hope that makes sense and helps!
Great question! 20 characters is the longest you can go. But you can use multiple words like “Camping Chair” for example. I find that staying under 15 characters (if possible) is ideal because it makes the puzzles a good size 👍
@@GregGottfried AH, I see, As some words I am using are French and can be long like; Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, but if i do 18 it could be, Les Grands Ballets, which would suffice, but would it harm the layout?
@@robmorin that would work perfectly! The custom GPT takes this into account and should always product words under 20 characters, but sometimes it doesn’t always get it right. With that said, you can always tell it to “start again but make the words shorter” and it should do the trick 👍
thank yuou for generous and detailed guide for word puzzle books - one question ? If we all work on say a fishing word book does the software create the exact same book as everyone else ?
The book from this tutorial was not submitted. I would want to fine-tune the cover design first. All my other ones use the same strategy and are approved 👍
So when I search terms on Chat GPT, they are numbered 1-100 ex. When I try and copy those terms, the number highlights also. When I paste it into the csv, the numbers get pasted also. There’s also been a couple times I’ve copied and pasted and everything went on one line. Sorry man. Computers aren’t my best friend 😂
It’s all good! Hmm I haven’t run into that before. Is it happening on Google Sheets or Excel? Are you selecting just the first box like in the video and then using Command+V to paste? Sometimes it’s just super finicky and wants it done an exact way. Another though is Google Sheets/Excel may be set to format that column as numbers. You can change it to not do that and that may fix it too. As a last ditch effort, you can always tell ChatGPT to rewrite the entire list without numbers and it will reformat it without them.
@@rck211 @GregGottfried #1- Highlight the whole column in excel. 2- Click "data" in menu bar, 3- click "text to columns" in menu bar, 4- tic "delimited" 5- tic "tab" and "other" (in the "other" box type a period) 6- click "finish" -- this will separate your text into a separate column then you can delete the number column and continue.
@@clipstv6229 I wish. Everything else I’ve come across does one puzzle at a time and then still needs to be formatted into a KDP book file. I think the 3 day free trial is the best free option.
Awesome video, Greg. Very informative. When I use the GPT code, it generates 495 words but may only have 153 lines which is not enough for 55 puzzles because the list generates more than one word for each line. Any tips?
Hmm... Ai being Ai, gotta love it. It's set to treat multi-words as just one word, but sometimes it has a mind of its own. Just prompt it something along the lines of "you were supposed to generate 495 words, but only generated 153" and it will acknowledge the mistake and redo the list. Alternatively, you can just start a new chat and it should correct itself in the next response. Let me know how it goes!
@@sm1233-e4u it’s 100% free to use. The $20 a month is only if you want to create custom GPT’s. There’s a maximum daily usage limit though (that’s for all plans including the $20/month plan too). Once you hit the max searches per day, you have to wait 2 hours to use again.
Yes you can do it all for free. The 3 day free trial to book bolt will give you plenty of time to make enough books to start making money. Then those will cover the cost of the subscription to keep making more books. Essentially free forever at that point 👍 Hope that all makes sense and helps!
@@GregGottfried Thanks For Your Reply Just make one thing clear that where all the information is Pakistani, can Pakistan banks also be attached there?
New Sub ! This is *the best* tutorial I’ve found on UA-cam for KDP puzzle books. I appreciate your time, clear, step by step instructions, and your generosity for discount and free word program. So happy I found you.
I’m following your tutorial which is great btw. However, I’ve come to a problem. When I attempted to add the words to the book bolt program to actually create the word searches, I received an error that the words are too long. They can’t be more than 20 characters. Well….chat gpt does not know that so that may be a glitch to work out…what is the best way to resolve this? Also, how will punctuation affect the puzzles (‘s or hyphen)? Thanks.
Hey great question! The GPT is set with this as a rule, but AI being AI it sometimes has a mind of its own. Two quick solutions: 1. If there are only a couple words over 20 characters, see which ones Book Bolt says they are and manually shorten them in the Google Sheets list. 2. If the GPT is using these often, tell it to “start over but use shorter words this time” and it will solve the problem in a new list. As for the punctuation, it does not make a difference in the puzzles 👍
@@GregGottfried Thanks for your response. I was working on it early this morning before I received your response and really wanted to complete it. I ended up doing option 1. It was about 6 words and Book bolt told me which row each was on. I simply changed or altered it and then sent it through the “find” feature in the spreadsheet to make sure no duplicate words. Thanks again. This is the best step by step tutorial I’ve come across. I’m now waiting for approval from Amazon KDP for my very 1st book! 🎉
That’s a great question. I don’t have a really solid average earnings per book/per month but I think you can create and upload 10 books per day if you put in the work. If you spend a month making books I think you’ll be making several hundred dollars per month consistently.
@GregGottfried thank you for the information. God bless you. Please I want to if I can create several books on a particular niche. For example, can I create several books on the keyword horse word search. If Yes, should the books have different design and colors?
Thanks for asking. I don’t do any paid trainings for KDP. Was there something specific you were looking for? Maybe something I can put into a video here on UA-cam.
@@GregGottfried I was just wondering if there are any options for a smaller group setting where I could ask questions about KDP or POD and get quick responses. For example, you mentioned not using the advertising tool for your books-could you provide a walkthrough of that process on Amazon KDP?

When getting started, you can truly go into random niches. You’ll be amazed when sells..I’ve definitely been surprised myself. I can put together a video here soon going over my process, it’s a bit lengthy to explain in a comment. I’ll add it to my video list for you 👍
@GregGottfried thanks, and I appreciate your hard work
Sir I am very poor how to join your Amazon team I have been watching for a long time but how much investment required to start this everytbing make ready but I don't have the right guidance to achieve that goal
100% free! Just click the Join button on the Amazon KDP homepage to start 👍
hi, if u only made 6 bucks so far without advertising and book bolt costs 16 bucks do you recommend advertising? if so, can you make a video to show best advertising strategies? Thanks.
Hey great question. I don’t personally recommend advertising. I think it’s hard to get right and turn a profit. If you are set on them though, I’d recommend Amazon Ads for these books. My personal recommendation is to create a lot of designs. Simply put, I have a lot of experience with businesses on these marketplace style websites and if you can create a lot of great listings, you will build up a really consistent income that’s 100% organic. Also worth mentioning, that account is just an example account with only 7 books uploaded. I think in reality you can do 5-10 per day (and there’s no upload limit on Amazon KDP)👍
How to do niche and keyword research? And which tool use for niche and keyword?
When getting started, you can truly go into random niches. You’ll be amazed what sells..I’ve definitely been surprised myself. I can put together a video here soon going over my process, it’s a bit lengthy to explain in a comment. I’ll add it to my video list for you 👍
Quick question after watching the entire tutorial, on the ASIN (?) number, you said we can access one (1). What happens with the next one you create? How do you get another number abd do you need to pay for these moving forward per product? Again, I'm so stoked and so, SO grateful for your content!
Great question! You can get another one for each book, all for free too 👍 Once you start the next listing you just click the same button and it will create a brand new one. Hope that makes sense and helps!
@@GregGottfried got it! Makes perfect sense. Ty for the responses 😊
Hey Great Video! What would be the longest word allowed, so to speak?
Great question! 20 characters is the longest you can go. But you can use multiple words like “Camping Chair” for example. I find that staying under 15 characters (if possible) is ideal because it makes the puzzles a good size 👍
@@GregGottfried AH, I see, As some words I am using are French and can be long like; Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, but if i do 18 it could be, Les Grands Ballets, which would suffice, but would it harm the layout?
@@robmorin that would work perfectly! The custom GPT takes this into account and should always product words under 20 characters, but sometimes it doesn’t always get it right. With that said, you can always tell it to “start again but make the words shorter” and it should do the trick 👍
thank yuou for generous and detailed guide for word puzzle books - one question ?
If we all work on say a fishing word book does the software create the exact same book as everyone else ?
Thanks and great question! It generates a different list for everyone 👍👍
Hello again Greg, I am curious about trademark topic in Kdp , where to look for our books title or descriptions or images to check for trademarks .
Please reply "Can a book bolt account be opened using a Payoneer card?"
I’m not sure but I don’t see why not 👍
@@GregGottfried other card accepted like PayPal or master etc which is used please reply
let me know, is this book approved by Amazon or not???
The book from this tutorial was not submitted. I would want to fine-tune the cover design first. All my other ones use the same strategy and are approved 👍
When I copy from Chat, the numbers always highlight and then they are brought to my cvs file. How can I copy without the numbers to the left
Can you explain a bit more so I can get a better idea of what's going on
So when I search terms on Chat GPT, they are numbered 1-100 ex. When I try and copy those terms, the number highlights also. When I paste it into the csv, the numbers get pasted also. There’s also been a couple times I’ve copied and pasted and everything went on one line. Sorry man. Computers aren’t my best friend 😂
It’s all good! Hmm I haven’t run into that before. Is it happening on Google Sheets or Excel? Are you selecting just the first box like in the video and then using Command+V to paste? Sometimes it’s just super finicky and wants it done an exact way. Another though is Google Sheets/Excel may be set to format that column as numbers. You can change it to not do that and that may fix it too. As a last ditch effort, you can always tell ChatGPT to rewrite the entire list without numbers and it will reformat it without them.
@@rck211 @GregGottfried #1- Highlight the whole column in excel. 2- Click "data" in menu bar, 3- click "text to columns" in menu bar, 4- tic "delimited" 5- tic "tab" and "other" (in the "other" box type a period) 6- click "finish" -- this will separate your text into a separate column then you can delete the number column and continue.
Is this accepted world wide? Any country will accept in KDP?
Yes you can do it worldwide 👍
Do you still retain all the copyrights or does Amazon own it?
You retain the copyrights 👍👍
Are there any free alternatives to Book Bolt?
@@clipstv6229 I wish. Everything else I’ve come across does one puzzle at a time and then still needs to be formatted into a KDP book file. I think the 3 day free trial is the best free option.
Awesome video, Greg. Very informative. When I use the GPT code, it generates 495 words but may only have 153 lines which is not enough for 55 puzzles because the list generates more than one word for each line. Any tips?
Hmm... Ai being Ai, gotta love it. It's set to treat multi-words as just one word, but sometimes it has a mind of its own. Just prompt it something along the lines of "you were supposed to generate 495 words, but only generated 153" and it will acknowledge the mistake and redo the list. Alternatively, you can just start a new chat and it should correct itself in the next response. Let me know how it goes!
Chat GPT is free or paid? Cause it’s telling me to upgrade with $20? What to do?
@@sm1233-e4u it’s 100% free to use. The $20 a month is only if you want to create custom GPT’s. There’s a maximum daily usage limit though (that’s for all plans including the $20/month plan too). Once you hit the max searches per day, you have to wait 2 hours to use again.
@@GregGottfried
Thank you so much for all the information, really appreciate it
Do you have to apply for kdp like merch on demand before having the option to sell?
Great question. No you don’t have to 😀 This is a huge win for us because there’s no application 👍
@@GregGottfriednice! Thanks for the reply 🤙
Sir is it possible to make money with kdp without Investment? (Obviously books will be Qualitiful)
Yes you can do it all for free. The 3 day free trial to book bolt will give you plenty of time to make enough books to start making money. Then those will cover the cost of the subscription to keep making more books. Essentially free forever at that point 👍 Hope that all makes sense and helps!
Can we do KDP for account while sitting in Pakistan?
Yes you can 👍
@@GregGottfried Thanks For Your Reply
Just make one thing clear that where all the information is Pakistani, can Pakistan banks also be attached there?
New Sub ! This is *the best* tutorial I’ve found on UA-cam for KDP puzzle books. I appreciate your time, clear, step by step instructions, and your generosity for discount and free word program. So happy I found you.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for the comment and support too! I’m always here if you run into any issues or need a hand 👍
@ Thank you, I appreciate it ! I’ll most likely have a few questions along the way.
I’m following your tutorial which is great btw. However, I’ve come to a problem. When I attempted to add the words to the book bolt program to actually create the word searches, I received an error that the words are too long. They can’t be more than 20 characters. Well….chat gpt does not know that so that may be a glitch to work out…what is the best way to resolve this? Also, how will punctuation affect the puzzles (‘s or hyphen)? Thanks.
Hey great question! The GPT is set with this as a rule, but AI being AI it sometimes has a mind of its own. Two quick solutions: 1. If there are only a couple words over 20 characters, see which ones Book Bolt says they are and manually shorten them in the Google Sheets list. 2. If the GPT is using these often, tell it to “start over but use shorter words this time” and it will solve the problem in a new list. As for the punctuation, it does not make a difference in the puzzles 👍
@@GregGottfried Thanks for your response. I was working on it early this morning before I received your response and really wanted to complete it. I ended up doing option 1. It was about 6 words and Book bolt told me which row each was on. I simply changed or altered it and then sent it through the “find” feature in the spreadsheet to make sure no duplicate words. Thanks again. This is the best step by step tutorial I’ve come across. I’m now waiting for approval from Amazon KDP for my very 1st book! 🎉
@@tiffanyharris4080 nicely done! Excited to hear how your books do!
Thanks. I’ll keep you posted. Have a blessed Thanksgiving! 😊
@@tiffanyharris4080 thank you, same to you and your family!
are you looking for video editor
No thank you 👍
Hi Greg, Please write down the title and sub-title format you use here.
I want to clarify, how word search book will I need to upload to start making some significant amount of cash
That’s a great question. I don’t have a really solid average earnings per book/per month but I think you can create and upload 10 books per day if you put in the work. If you spend a month making books I think you’ll be making several hundred dollars per month consistently.
@GregGottfried thank you for the information. God bless you. Please I want to if I can create several books on a particular niche. For example, can I create several books on the keyword horse word search. If Yes, should the books have different design and colors?
@@Ossymedia great question! Yes and yes 😀
@@GregGottfried thank you very. Much. I will start next month. And I will update you with my progress
Do you offer paid training?
Thanks for asking. I don’t do any paid trainings for KDP. Was there something specific you were looking for? Maybe something I can put into a video here on UA-cam.
@@GregGottfried I was just wondering if there are any options for a smaller group setting where I could ask questions about KDP or POD and get quick responses. For example, you mentioned not using the advertising tool for your books-could you provide a walkthrough of that process on Amazon KDP?
Sir this work for all countries yes, no
Yes 👍
Can I do this from the Philippines?
Yes you can 👍
